I am buying some Potenzas for my newly refurbed wheels. I know they're meant to stretch ok but they're only buying 165/50/15s so it isnt much anyway. Does anyone have experience of going into places, or places that wont do it? I guess places like quick fit etc wouldnt be worth going into.

I bought some Turbines for the 1.6, in the middle of refurbing and after x-mas. Now I need some tyres, and i'm going to stretch, but only a tiny bit. The size i'm after is 165/50/15 I have a few options of rubber for this size. Nankang Bridgestone Federal There's a small difference in price...

In Bebington, had a bike rack on the back, didn't see much more. Oh and a 'ring sticker too :p Was cleeean as! Anyone?

Hi guys, I recently put coilovers on my non-sport, its not scrubbing on much bar the bulge in the arch liners at the front. Would it be ok if I heated these up and pushed them in a bit? Cheers, Phil

Rokkor pikey specials, cheap and cheerful. Got spacers on the way so I can use my camber bolts, they should be here in the next few days. Happy with the height, tried it lower, but it wasn't happening in everyday life driving. It feels like a b**ch to drive with the amount of positive camber...

Drove past me yesterday, looked low with yellow fogs. Was nice! Anyone here? Was about mid day by Total Fitness

Saw you this evening, black, quite low with wide euro looking wheels, and stickers on the back? Was about 10pm-ish I was in a mates red Ibiza Cupra R.

Went to turn the car on yesterday morning, it wouldn't fire up. It seems that it's just the firing up that isn't happening... But weirdly, left it for 5mins, tried and it started without any sign of a problem. I tested the car out throughout the rest of the day and it was fine! Got in the car...

Tried to neaten it all up a little. Dewipered, taken the stickers off the back window, and sprayed the 'clio' badge. I know a lot of people aren't keen of getting rid of the rear wiper, but I think it looks neater! It did look like this: Now it looks like this (i'm aware it needs a clean and...

The Sacrifice ;)

I am currently after a set of coilovers for my 1.6 16v mk2. I wanted some Vmaxx ones (cheap and cheerful) but this will mean saving up for quite a while after recent holidays. Some of those £180 jobbies have come up on ebay again, Rokkor I think they're called. Should I get them or just keep...

Saw you about an hour ago heading up towards Bebington area. Black 182, black wheels, looked low! Anyone from on here?

Little update. Got myself some Lamin-x stuff for the fogs, pleased with that. Also got a BMC panel filter :) It passed it's MOT today (second time round, as always!) so it deserved a quick clean up! Coilovers are next on the list because I need to go lower, as are a set or Turbines ;) I know...

Failed because the headlight clip is broken (passenger side). Anyone know where I can get one of these? (apart from scrappies, because it's peeing it down!)

Saw you just after the round about, silver with black wheels. Looks awesome, anyone? Was about 7pm...

Changed my brakes today on the 1.6. Bought Pagid disks and pads. Fitted them ok, took a couple of hours but i'm pretty sure they're ok....until. 1. They seem like theyre sticking a tad, when i pull off it seems something is holding my car back a little? 2. Got back from work, stopped on the...

Ive already got my disks, they're only standard Pagid ones. I'm in two minds on getting standard pads, Ultimax pads or EBC green stuff pads? Do you think it's worth it? I've got a 1.6 16v.

Right, bulb went, changed them, tried to twist them back in, and I can't fit my hand in. They've turned a tiny bit, do you think they'll be ok? When I took the old ones out, they just needed a wiggle and they popped out. Or, is there another way of twisting them in? Taaa

Black 182, looked like it'd been dropped. Saw you going towards Spital Cross-roads/Three Stags last night at about 8ish. Looked gorgeous, was this anyone on here?

This may be a dumb as hell question, but i'm rubbish on this... I have some 60mm Apex springs on my mk2 1.6 Clio on standard shocks at the moment. When I was looking on eurocarparts I saw some Billstein shocks, do you think these would be ok paired with my Apex springs? Cheers Phil

I've recently noticed worrying vibrations that shake what feels like the whole car when cornering! Had quick search on here, and it seems it may be wheel balancing, is this normally the case? Recently-ish put apex springs on the car (about 1k ago), but the handling seems ok, checked bits when...

V6 forum sticker on the side. Otherwise standard I think. Looked very nice, you went across the A41 junction, towards Tescos. Anyone?

Not seen many, is there any reason why? Im thinking about doing it, any examples for me?:D Cheers Phil.

This has been bugging me for ages, and since some of you reminded me of it in my last picture whoring thread, I got it done! Was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Used 800, 1000, 1200, 2000 grade wet and dry paper. My mate brought his megs polisher round and finished the job for me. They've...

Not sure if it was a 182 or 172, sounded amazing though. White wheels and a white decal on the front? Going towards Sealand. Anyone?

Went out in the 1.6 last night after giving it a quick wash during the day. It hasn't had a wash in ages with me being in uni and thanks to crap parkers, it now has scrapes and dings in it! Being in a narrow busy street sucks big time... These night shots have really brought out the swirl marks...

In the McDonalds car park, you parked next to me. Gorgeous car, anyone on here?

Now I have finished uni, I could get round to giving her a clean. It wasn't a mega wash, but it took a couple of hours! Also fitted new side repeaters last week too, looks way better. Hoping to get some 172 wheels soon I think. Enjoy

Red Clio Sport, maybe a cup/trophy, i dunno, going down Cheyney Road (down by the side of the uni) at about 9ish? nice looking and awesome sounding car, few near pops as you went over the speed bumps, and you hammered it a little off the lights ;) Was it anyone?

Right, I have had this on my Clio since day one, but it was really annoying me last night! Basically, when I go over about 50mph, there is a 'wind' kind of noise. I'm guessing something is sticking out of the car a little to make this noise, but nothing is obvious after having a look. It...
